About two thirds of the ophthalmic packaging market is taken by multidose eyedroppers. They require preservatives in the drug to avoid bacterial contamination.
The most common preservative is benzalkonium chloride. It can have variable consequences for patients, from allergy to cornea damage when used in chronic treatments.
The role of preservatives in ophthalmic solutions is to avoid bacterial contamination inside the bottle during the treatment duration.
The objective of the new multidose ophthalmic packaging is to avoid preservatives into the solution while maintaining the sterility of the solution during treatment duration.
